The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden

Lower is healthier
ST24thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Bonney Lake, Washington (ZIP 98391) comes out in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,937th) and the top 33% of Washington (193rd).
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 3.5% nationally, household income stands in the top 6.0% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 5.4% nationally. Fatal road crashes is in the bottom 7.0% nationally, modeled energy burden resides in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and stroke sits in the bottom 8.3% nationally. Set against that, modeled expected annual loss settles in the top 2.6% nationally, and disaster risk registers in the top 2.8% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 98092, just across the boundary.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 0.67 years of 79.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match.
